Wishing I knew who to trust.
Once upon a time I trusted my friends,
But lately I wonder often, “Do I have any?”
I say this because often do they betray me,
As though they wish to slay me.
In a way they do just that,
Because when they betray me they rip my heart apart!
It’s worse than ridicule or hate, betrayal is.
It hurts like nothing else.
I am sure of this…

you sound so sure and certain that everybody hates you. "it hurts like nothing else, i'm sure of this." this is very nice, concrete, and inspirational in a sort of diabolical way. 5 stars.

I like this.  A lot. I've been there before, only but a few years past. It has depth... meaning. A great inspiration for poetry. Great job.
